Cutty Sark

Mar 29–Apr 1

If you haven't visited the world's last surviving tea clipper since her £25 million restoration, Easter is a good opportunity to go with all the family. The ship has been overrun with chickens who have been laying their eggs in some strange places. See how many you can spot around the ship on this egg trail which is free with the general entrance ticket.

There's an educational aspect to Easter egg hunting at the London Wetland Centre – you can learn about the nesting and spawning secrets of wetland wildlife as you follow the trail. You can also get involved in egg painting, create a vehicle from recycled materials, or join in the egg and spoon race.
